Welcome to the Laterality Lab

How do we understand the world around us? How do the two halves of the brain work together to perceive, decide, and act.

Our research is aimed at establishing how perceptual, cognitive, and motor processes are integrated between the two cerebral hemispheres of the brain. This is undertaken by a variety of methods including studying patients in whom the hemispheres have been surgically separated (a callosotomy or split brain), functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and event-related potentials (ERP).

The Laterality Lab is part of the School of Psychology, the Centre for Research in Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, the Neuroscience Group, and the Cognition Institute at Plymouth University.

We use the MRI facilities at the Peninsula MR Research Centre.
